List of tanned and dark skinned characters in Granblue Fantasy

Since i created the list of LGBTQ+ characters in granblue i wanted to make more, and this is one of them.

The list will be in alfabetical order, and I will mostly be including playable characters and summons with some special mentions, also some of these chars are slightly tanned, i'll mark them as (ST) so don't shine a light on them or you'll scare their melanin away.

Beware spoilers. Did not include characters that are only tanned in their Summer or so versions. Also original characters only, no collabs.

Nezahualpilli (ST) [his pains me the most, because he is based of an actual person that lived in the XV century, his grandfather was Ixtlilxóchitl Ometochtli and his son was Ixtlilxóchitl II (christian name Hernando Cortés Ixtlilxóchitl), Ixtlilxochitl in nahuatl means "dark face flower" at least that was the best i was able to translate it into english from spanish, so it makes sense for them to be a dark skinned family. I'm not an expert, just Mexican and passionate about our culture, so feel free to correct me]

If you squint hard enough maybe the next ones are tanned:

Magisa [tanned vibes]

Paris [tanned vibes]

Petra [in my mind she is tan, but comparing her skin tone to other characters i realized her skin is pretty light]

Yuel [same as Petra, because she is next to Societte the palest of them sacred foxes her skin looks darker in comparison]

Special mentions:

All Kahuans, as seen in the Paliuli Pararaiha event, have tanned/dark skin, to name one we have Felluca, Queen of Kahua and Nemone and Melleau's sister.

Geo [not playable but i don't want him to take down my blog iykyk]

The case of the lightening of some characters the higher their rarity goes will forever be a mystery (or will it?)

I'm looking at you Anna, Feather, Volena, etc.

They finally taught imai beatboxing

peace and love on planet earth it took akito four one year to finally show his special skill but he looked very cool while doing it

I had a convo about why Harebourg was throwing wood in the lava while he could just use the heat of the volcano and a friend replied to me "because he can"

That made me laugh 😂

heh, I did some lil doodlings today!

introducing me in miss ayase's clothes!!

[starweed]

heyyy, guess who’s back with more thoughts about itoshi rin????

so, we’ve already established that rin is a very extrinsically motivated person, at least when it comes to football. he doesn’t play football for himself, and he never has. and in a setting like blue lock i just don’t think that’s a sustainably way to play football. blue lock is a place that wants people have a real love for the sport, and would play it every single day of their lives if they could. ego wants people who want to win and want to be the best striker in the world.

rin,, doesn’t really want that. sure, he wants to beat isagi and prove his brother wrong, but that’s not really a longterm, sustainable goal. what happens when he succeeds? does he just stop and say, “okay, that’s good enough”? what happens if he never succeeds? if isagi just continually gets better and better and rin never beats him in a way that makes sae acknowledge him?

having extrinsic motivations is good and normal, but you also eventually have to do things that you want to do for you or you’re going to get burnt out. and i feel like that’s the path that rin’s headed towards if we’re being realistic about this. he just goes and goes and goes in a really unsustainable way, and eventually it’s going to catch up to him.

he’s a really interesting foil to isagi, who’s motivations are almost entirely intrinsic. part of why isagi’s mindset feels more sustainable to me is because he really only plays football for himself. he plays because he really loves the sport. and we don’t ever really see that in rin, so i feel like it’s eventually going to kind of blow up in his face as we’ve seen in previous rounds of blue lock.

or i’m entirely wrong about this. idk, i’m not kaneshiro. i’m just saying that i don’t think that rin’s got anything sustainable going on in how he plays football ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

tbh i wish aup had more reps for characters who achieve greatness purely through hard work and effort. the emphasis on genius/being special is mayhaps way too much to the point that it feels kinda damn depressing for those who aint born as one.

You know, of the three remaining Heroes Entei will probably be the easiest to find since it's 1: not hanging out up in the stratosphere and 2: not a species that's endangered and/or extinct.

...The trick is finding the right Entei (and the fact that it's specifically built for traveling across entire oceans and continents in a matter of days, but that's perhaps slightly less of an issue). They can obviously rule out the few Entei that currently have trainers, but based on Moltres and Rayqaza being normal sized they can't just assume it'll be a giant (and thus Obviously Not Normal) like Arboliva and Lapras were.

(and yes I subscribe to there being multiples of most legendaries, at least in the anime. even if Horizons turns out to be a different continuity from the Ash era (which I highly doubt) we know there have to be at least multiple Rayquaza since the color of Lucius's Rayquaza was called out as unusual and it's been in a ball for about a century despite the fact that Rayquaza has Important Responsibilities that have definitely been getting done that whole time given the world hasn't been destroyed by meteors and/or Kyogre and Groudon's stupid sibling rivalry)

On the other hand, there might be some conflicting data to deal with when looking for a giant hundred-plus-year-old Kleavor considering... you know... the whole Noble Pokemon Thing that would absolutely be clearly documented (one or two centuries isn't that long ago, historically speaking, and the Noble Pokemon were very much Public Knowledge back when they were still a Thing, at least in the game continuity).

Given the bajillion different interpretations of vampires out there, in your opinion which flaw is the most fundamental to them and should be present in every adaptation?

[summertimemusician]

No one:

Literally No One:

Me, running on three hours of sleep and only spite and coffee keeping my mortal vessel functioning, also trying to get all of the figurines in Minish Cap to scratch the completionist itch: We, as both the Zelda Fandom and Lu Fandom, don't really talk enough about First, The Hero of Men and The Original Attempted Calamity Hero huh?

And by that, I mean these gentlemen:

I love webnovels.

More specifically, I love webnovels where one of the MC's starter skills is literally just the fancied up equivalent of "disassociate on command", because if that doesn't tell you right out the gate this dude's gonna get fucked up I don't know what will.

[youremyonlyhope]

Hey. RTD2. If you're playing some sort of long game with this whole not even mentioning the existence of Martha Jones thing as a way to throw us off the scent of a possible appearance from her later in season "1" or "2" of this era...

Nah. I can't even begin to let myself hope it will happen.

[magentagalaxies]

vent incoming:

got my grades back for my courses last semester and most of it was to be expected, mostly A's, maybe an A-, etc. but i honestly can't get over the fact that my independent study (the buddy cole documentary) was for some reason given a B. like sure getting a B isn't bad per se, I usually get at least one B every semester and i honestly don't really care about what my exact gpa is as long as i can graduate, but come on. this school put me through months of psychological torment over this project and didn't even have the nerve to give me a B+??? i'm still coping with the self-doubt they forced on me and this bullshit is not helping!!

[saltyloafy]

thinking abt fucked up sets of brothers today and how they give me brain worms to the highest degree. special shoutout to ritsu and mob kageyama for being my absolute favorite brothers ever I cry just thinking abt them they mean absolutely everything to me and I am not exaggerating

[nonokoko13]

Rollo Flamme is autistic. I had suspicions about it but after reading his vignette I heard a voice in my head confirming it. God has told me the truth and I must spread the word

He would also be ok with Batman, if he's not his most favoured hero. Oh and he also probably has PTSD and depression. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

[li-esonthefloor]

fuck respecting another character's wishes and ability to choose for themselves. no. you're not dying. i said so. i'll kill anyone who disagrees. you'll accept it one day, or be alive to hate me for it

thats the shit i want to see
